Though Washington High School received no All-State nominations for the state large group speech contest, one of their groups received Division I ratings across the board.

The school hired three Iowa High School Speech Association certified judges to evaluate the musical theatre entry that had advanced to state with a performance of “Title of Show.” The group of Bailey and Hannah Rees, Kevin Flannery, and Quinn Wubbena received Division I ratings from all the judges. The next speech event will be the district individual contest which because of COVID-19 will not be hosted at one school in each district but may be held individually or virtually from February 22nd through March 3rd. There are also no All-State Festivals being held this year.
